have 20 gallon tank bought as complete set up with filter hood heater lamp all together. As Ive been reading, i realized I need flourescent lighting for my plants. Went to lfs today, and the only bulb they had in the size (18") i needed was " Nutri Grow" fresh water plant lamp 15 watt with color enhancing phophors. box also describes *high intesity output *full spectrum light stimulates plant growth * High output of photosynthetically active energy.
I put the bulb in and now the bulb gives off a green cast to the tank. The original bulb, was white light 15watt aquarium lamp (prehaet) ?!?!
I am assuming this is not enough light or the correct lighting for my tank. My plants r listed below in my signature.
any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should I look for a new lighting fixture that holds 2 bulbs?
please help
Thanks
